Memorial Day is considered the unofficial start of summer, and what better way to celebrate than to start planting? While you make plans to plant in your yard, garden, or summer home, consider using native plants.

Enhance the Beauty of the Landscape

Native plants add a natural beauty to your landscape that introduced species cannot. The best part about working with native plants is the variety! There are so many different species and blooms to choose from that you can easily coordinate the plants with current flora.

Save Time on Maintenance

While introduced, or non-native, species require regular maintenance, native plants do not. You won’t have to spend as much money on fertilizer and planting materials, and you can save time watering each day. Most native plants thrive in their naturally occurring environment and will adapt easily depending on your location and soil type.

Ward Off Disease

By planting native plants, you can fight off insects, pests, and diseases naturally and without harmful chemicals. Planting a wide variety of native species attracts beneficial insects, and invaders will be less likely to harm your lawn or garden.

Attract Birds and Butterflies

Native plants provide shelter and food to birds, butterflies, and other fauna in your area. If you’re a bird-watcher, adding native plants to your landscape will improve your bird viewing experience. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds chirping and playing in your backyard!

Improve Air Quality

Non-native plants require consistent maintenance, and weed edgers, lawn mowers, and leaf blowers can quickly decrease the quality of air. By planting native plants, you can improve the air quality in your area drastically.
